vB Spell · **Released**: 08-20-2006

What this does: vB Spell allows you to install a dictionary (English dictionary included) into your MysQL database, and provide a spell checking window that works in both of vB's editor modes, standard and WYSIWYG.

Background: This mod was originally developed by tamarian for vB 3.5.x. With the release of 3.6.x the installer stopped working for fresh installs and the template changes were considerably out of date, tamarian gave me permission to release a 3.6.x version with updates.
This version should work with both 3.5.x and 3.6.x series.

Features:

Supports most recent versions of browsers. Tested on IE, Firefox, Mozilla/Netsacpe, Opera and Konqueror (Konqueror implies Safari, but please confirm Mac folks).
Learn Feature uses cookies, so it won't increase the database size.
Admin panel options.
Spell Check button appears anywhere there is a WYSIWYG Enhanced or Standard Editor Toolbar [includes quickreply but not quickedit].
Skips quoted text and other tags (PHP, code, etc.).
Usergroup permisisons.
Template based interface, and uses your default style.
Link buttons (Thesarus and Lookup) with links to Merriam Webster's online thesarus and dictionary links with the suggestion for misspelled words.

Installation:

Unzip main package.
Upload the contents of the 'upload' folder to your forum home directory.
Regular Install:
- Unzip dictionary-reg.zip.
- Upload DICTIONARY.DIC to your forum home directory.
Alternate Install
- Unzip dictionary-alt.zip.
- Import the SQL files to your database.
Import product-spellvb.xml.
Go to AdminCP > vBulletin Options > vB Spell and edit your usergroup permisisons.
Template changes are now automatic. [accept for quickedit]

Q: What is the Alternate Install method for?
A: If you are having problems with the Regular Install (such as your dictionary import freezes at x%) then you should consider using the Alternate Install. If neither of these methods work for you then there might be an issue with your server host.

Upgrading:

Unzip main package.
Upload the contents of the 'upload' folder to your forum home directory.
Import product-spellvb.xml.

To manually force the quickedit template to work with this mod:
postbit_quickedit
Find

Code:

		<if condition="is_browser('ie')">
			<td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_editor]/separator.gif" width="6" height="20" alt="" /></td>
			<td><div class="imagebutton" id="{$editorid}_cmd_spelling"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_editor]/spelling.gif" width="21" height="20" alt="$vbphrase[check_spelling]" /></div></td>
		</if>

Replace with

Code:

		<td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_editor]/separator.gif" width="6" height="20" alt="" /></td>
		<td><div class="imagebutton" id="{$editorid}_cmd_spelling(null)"><img onclick="spellCheck('3', '$editorid', '2');" src="$stylevar[imgdir_editor]/spelling.gif" width="21" height="20" alt="$vbphrase[check_spelling]" /></div></td>

History:
0.10.x NyNe versions
v0.10.3b - 06/22/07:
Compensated for an issue brought up in this post.
v0.10.3 - 06/22/07:
Added a check to the product installer so it would not remove the vbspell table after just having created it.
Added $vboptions[bburl] to all template code that asks for files (this *might* fix the PhotoPost issues - no promises).
v0.10.2b - 08/26/06:
Fixed error in product installer (removed table prefix).
Changed all <? to <?php for php5 compatibility.
v0.10.2a - 08/26/06:
Removed alt product installer.
Product installer included now checks for dictionary file, if dictionary file is not found it continues installing.
Product installer no longer drops dictionary table before installing.
v0.10.2 - 08/22/06:
vbspell template is now XHTML 1.0 Transitional.
Fixed a version check for vbspell template (made compatible with 3.5.x).
vB Spell window should now open on top of other windows.
Removed table prefix for vbspell sql table (product installer includes code to remove old tables).
Included alternate installation method (Credit goes to Replicators for the SQL Install method).
v0.10.1 - 08/21/06:
Beta release for 3.6.x series.
Switched to product/plugin based installer.

0.9.x tamarian versions
v0.9.12 - 12/25/05:
Security fix for cases where you allow HTML posts and they contain malicious code (Credit goes to Brendan Donahue for finding the issue and alerting TechGuy, and to TechGuy for alerting me to it).
v0.9.11 - 11/02/05:
Fixes a bug with slashes in text.
v0.9.10 - 10/17/05:
Check for primary and secondary group for permission.
Bug fix for quoted words.
v0.9.9 - 09/13/05:
Bugfix for JS on IE with RC3.
v0.9.8 - 07/15/05:
Bugfix for JS code mismatch with template.
v0.9.7 - 07/14/05:
Initial release for vB 3.5 beta-4.

NOTE: The above section says NyNe versions, because I go by the name NyNe everywhere accept here.

Scrrenshots: (from tamarian's 3.0.7, but it's identical)

JirQuest... can you please go through the process, step by step of what ever changes to make that will get this working for all of us who are having promblems on 3.6.8?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Tim

hey. sorry about getting back so late. i hardly visit these boards, so if anything that you need help with, email me.

steps:

1. admincp - plugins & products - plugin manager.
2. look for "vB Spell Template Changes".
3. click EDIT.
4. find "/vbspell.js". Change to "/forumsdirectory/vbspell.js".
5. do the same for "/vbspell.php".

it's right at the top. you can't miss it. i am also getting the problem with the "VBSpell installation problem" after changing webhosts. Will try and see how i can fix that.

Thanks that worked, but I was a bit confused by your directions at first - the "forumsdirectory" in "/forumsdirectory/vbspell.js" should be the forum directory that you use - for example if you use "forum" them use "/forum/vbspell.js" or if you use "forums" use "/forums/vbspell.js"

Now the only problem I have is the window is a pop-under - it pops under the open browser window instead of in front. I used the fix from post 214:

Code:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1104129&postcount=214

but that is just a workaround since it initially pops under, then on top.

Here you go.

If anyone else wants any other language dictionaries, simply go to:

Code:

http://www.aspnetspell.com/Downloads.aspx

and download the dictionary of your choice, and rename the extension to all caps, (from .dic to .DIC). They have the following dictionaries available:

Code:

English (Australia) Dictionary
English (Canada) Dictionary
English (International) Dictionary
English (UK) Dictionary
English (USA) Dictionary
French Dictionary
German Dictionary
Italian Dictionary
Dutch Dictionary
Danish Dictionary
Swedish Dictionary
Portuguese Dictionary
Spanish Dictionary

Is there any Greek dictionary I can get for vb spell?
Does vb spell work on vB 3.6.8?

Didn't do it for me!
I'm running VBulletin 3.6.8 new install.

perfphysio · #**358** 10-01-2007, 06:22 PM

mine has stopped working since 3.6.8. Is there a problem?

Chy · #**359** 10-06-2007, 12:35 AM

I've installed 3 times.. last time was a charm worked just fine for all of 10 minutes.. now getting this error any suggestions.. the vbspell.php file is in fact there on my server. Also running 3.6.8.

The requested URL /vbspell.php was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Are any of you having trouble with Quick Reply? I have people saying they have Fire Fox and they say... 'After I post in a thread, I get stuck on a blank page and it stalls. I have to use the back button to get back to the forum.'

Any idea?

I just tried to install it and got this error:

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
